RE: [xsl] amp

The data come from the DB, and it's the user who feed the DB hence can not
control user from using '&'. Is there a way of escaping this character if
the data comes from the DB? I have resaerched all over on the internet but
have not gotten an appropriate explaination. It tells me to use '&amp;' but
this data comes from the DB, how can i pick all '&' and trasform them in to
'&amp;'.
Please assist, it's this discussion i mostly rely on in terms of knowledge

Change the software that's generating the XML so that the XML it
produces is well-formed.
